yes no one wants to think of themselves as a bad person and we all know that racism is bad the defensiveness and denial of racism we see on reddit is the actual expression of white guilt also in general white people do not believe something is racist unless it is completely blatant and lines up with their imagination of what racism and white supremacy looks like which is the kkk lynchings yelling nigger at someone unless it is what they have seen depicted in movies its questionable a white nationalist here explained to me that using the phrase white supremacy makes people think of villains and of course no normal person even if racist is a villain like that
